Annual Data 2015
Copper Supply & Consumption — 1994–2014
www.copper.org
Preface
Statistical data on the supply and consumption
of copper and copper alloys in the United States
are available from many governmental and private
sources. In this report, original data from these
sources are brought together and rationalized by
CDA and Global Market Consultants, Inc. (GMC)
to provide a set of data on U.S. copper supply and
consumption that is both consistent and accurate in
all aspects from mine to end-use market.
The main sources of information assembled here
are the U.S. Geological Survey in the U.S. Department of the Interior, the Bureau of the Census in
the U.S. Department of Commerce, and Copper
Development Association Inc. Where data from different sources are conflicting, and where original
data appear to be in error, the best judgment has
been applied. General sources are shown in the
tables throughout the report. Those interested to
know the specific sources of any of the data should
contact CDA.
The statistics are arranged in a logical sequence
to trace the flow of copper in the U.S. economy from
mining and scrap collection through smelting, refining and ingot making to the wire rod and wire mills,
brass mills, and foundries and then on to the final
end-use markets. This flow is shown schematically
on pages 4 and 5. On this schematic flow sheet the
major statistics of copper supply and consumption in
the United States for 2014 appear. Along with each
major statistic on the chart, a reference is shown.
This reference identifies the table in the report where
details on that item, from 1994 through 2014, will
be found. Most data for 2014 are preliminary.
There are four major tables in the report. Table 1
covers the supply of primary copper. Table 2 presents data on the supply of copper from secondary
sources. In Table 3, statistics on the consumption
of primary and secondary metals by mills, foundries
and other industries are summarized. These three
tables are provided by GMC.
Finally, Table 4 details the supply of mill, foundry
and powder products and their consumption in the
five end-use market areas. In each of these tables,
additions to the flow (such as net imports) are indicated as positive numbers, while subtractions from
the flow (such as melting losses or net additions to
stocks) are shown in parentheses.
The arrangement of the data in the report can be
illustrated with an example. Consider Mine Production, the upper left-hand box in the flow sheet on
page 4. As shown in the box, mine production of
copper in the United States totaled 1,495 thousand
short tons in 2014. Beneath this figure a number
appears referring to Table 1, abbreviated 1 (1). This
means that in Table 1, on Line (1), mine production
is shown for the full period 1994 through 2014. In
Table 1, on Line (1), a further reference will be found
after the item heading Mine Production, directing
the reader elsewhere on page 6. In fact, on page
6, a table entitled Table 1, Item 1 presents the data
on mine production by state for 1994 through 2014.
In this way all the data on supply and consumption
appear in logical sequence proceeding through the
report, eliminating the need for explanatory text.

p - preliminary, r - revised
(a) - Starting with 1995 Powder Plants and Other Industries data are included with "Foundries."
(b) - Total consumption of ingot shown here is less than the consumption of metal by ingot makers shown in the details of Table 3, Item 3, and Table 3, Item 8. The difference, shown as Ingot Stocks & Other in Table 3, is partially melting and other losses in the making of ingot.
Numbers may not sum due to rounding.
